Hi Guys
Just went out at lunch and picked up some tubes and the jig heads that go with them....I have never fished them before I know it is hard to believe...I have fished for well over 25 years and never tried them...I am going to White lake tonight to give them a try....I will post a report tomorrow.
Thanks to this board for giving me some other options in my fishing box.
I have looked at the article here on rigging them...any other tips - I have heard people putting alka seltzer in them...ever tried that?
thanks
Sam

Sam you can use alka seltzer,also a product by berkley is out called fish bubbles.What it does is attractes the fish by sound and sight.The bubbles can represent a dying baitfish on bottom or a scurry of them eating debrie off the bottom.Bass pro's have done this for years.You can use the jig heads for loose cover but texas rig em in heavy cover or very rocky bottoms.Save you a few lost tubes and give you a broader area to fish em
Anymore questions Ill do my best to help

Here's all the advice you need when tubing!

With tube jigs you slide it in the butt end and pop out the eye through the tube then tie the line to that. But I prefer other methods, such as stick a weight in the tube.

if you have a chance , go to Paddletales...get ED to show you how to rig a tube...it's easy and you don't have to cut the line to change tubes,iI've been using this method for three years now, after Ed showed me.....it's easy and fast...plus he has a great selection of tubes and wieghts...and he knows white lake and can tell you with what might work on the lake....you can't beat local tackle shops for advise and great service(613) 774-2277
